In “Chelmno and the Holocaust” the number given is 54,500 and footnote is from “Chronicle.”

So, probably around 60,000. I don’t have “Chronicle” at home, it’s at work so I can’t confirm that number.

I saw the 70,067 but I think that’s total for the year, I focused on August of 1944 only. I think the 7,186 is a solid number for Chelmno.

Yeah, if I tried glogg it would plant me solidly on my ass and I would sleep for about two days. I have to go back to work tomorrow.

As for egg nog, I love the stuff but it doesn’t fit into my diet.....

The smell of the police members was likely a desinfection agent applied on those who came close to the victims and their belongings. This has been clarified by the local forester Heinrich May, who also thought at first it was the "smell of corpses".

Per the “Chronicle of the Łódź Ghetto” the Germans succeeded in isolating the Ghetto better due to local conditions.

1) The inhabitants were not allowed copies of the Litzmander Zeitung, the official paper distributed by the Germans.
2) Smuggling was nonexistent (unlike the other ghettos) due to the Germans removing Polish inhabitants that lived close to the Ghetto boundaries.
3) The complete pacification of the city.

That would be an issue regardless of how they died.

Actually that would be an issue regardless if anyone died. The lysol was applied on the police men because living people forced by the Nazis' policy to live under poor hygienic conditions were brought to Kulmhof.

Do you know what happened to those people, by the way?

It's a total mystery. I'm researching this "camp" (actually it was more like a fenced rotten mansion) for more than 1.5 years now, but I found no evidence to support outgoing transports, whereas there are train records to the next nearest station and other German sources on extensive incoming deportations as well as numerous testimonies on the flow of people to the site (but nobody has seen them leaving again). Not less puzzling is that huge amounts of clothing accumulated at Kulmhof that was shipped back to a place near Litzmannstadt, as if the Jewish people, who seem to have vanished from the face of the earth at the same time, did not need it anymore. The only known Jews who have left this camp alive escaped and submerged. Instead of any infrastructure to accomodate the mass of people brought in, there are only extended cleared mass graves and remains of cremation furnaces in the nearby forest.

It's just as if you could only survive this place if you escaped.

What kind of camp would that be?

You're doing a lot of researching Hans and I hope it leads to your own satisfaction in order to allow you to make some specific claims.

However, you have now gained yourself a reputation as one who promotes fiction and then claims it to be real.

I suggest you return again to the Mogliev gassing thread because S.M. is attempting to revive it with proof that it was indeed a film made at Mogliev. What the point of that exercise could be, I have no idea. But I've asked some questions of S.M. that I would be surprised if he answers. He never has so far! Maybe you can.

On the positive side for you Hans, he appears to be trying to make the claim that the vid isn't faked. This could lead to salvaging your reputation. I look forward to that with an open mind, as a skeptic.

The Mogliev gassing hoax is dead Hans and in case you're behind the curve and missing it, so is the gas chambers hoax. The world is not so stupid anymore Hans and won't buy cheap bull--it. Elie Weisel is now introducing the new and improved version of the holocaust because it has become necessary to stop the bleeding. Get the hell over it!

Seriously? Why doesn't anyone tell me anything? Sheesh, did they ever figure out why he forgot to fake a tattoo on his arm?

Well, I didn’t think anyone would take me seriously because I’m not a reliable source of information. I don’t acknowledge anything on Carlos Porter’s website.

The truck and the guard are quite possibly from the transport commando of SK Kulmhof. The police man is dressed in a white safety suit, which was meant to protect those members of the extermination camp who could get in contact with the victims from infections.
